In the process of working, I seek to perfect my thinking in creating art works. With 2 basic criteria is to achieve aesthetic value and towards unique novelty, through shaping methods and materials applied from the life around them. After 8 years of working full-time with painting, in addition to familiar materials such as oil paints, watercolors, pastels and acrylics, I also use materials to create textures for surfaces such as circuit boards, wool, etc. covers, pins, glasses, epoxy glue, plastic, play dough... my painting journey is an experience of discovering my inner self through the use of materials as a medium to convey emotions. For me, every topic that happens in current life, or the feelings about culture, technology, politics... interacting with human society give me thoughts to compose. Like the war going on in Ukraine, interactions affect climate change, environmental pollution, natural disasters, epidemics, or stories about culture, history, philosophy, about life's conceptions of people. each in the debate with friends. Even though ideas can arise from observing and taking care of my children, they can help me change the way that work can start from the unconscious or not impose on myself any subject at the moment. embark on a specific work of art.

“Unconsciuosness”

The paradox of young people who just want to grow up quickly to be able to do what they like, not to be controlled by their parents with their will. When I grow up, I want to return to my childhood so that I don't have to worry about struggling in a hard life. It's the same in painting, practicing skillful skills and then forgetting

“Memory puzzle piecies”

Romantic memories from the song, recorded on the canvas. In a journey of time engraved in my heart like a sweet feeling.

“Echoes of the past”

The 4000-year history of my country has created its own cultural and artistic values. The imprints of the drum sound echoed in the battle of the forefathers to protect the country against foreign invaders. That created a heroic atmosphere in my subconscious.

“Ukraine ruin”

The brutality of the war in Ukraine has caused so much pain and mourning. It destroys the urban, the life of the Ukrainian people. War is a crime of mankind by the will of dictators.

Demonstration technique: using carton torch and using carton ashes to depict traces of destruction.

“Astraction N03”

A dominant black color like the night sky like the suppression of emotions locked in a dark society of undemocratic dictatorship. The artist tries to keep his enthusiasm to cut and remove the barriers of life. Light your own red flame.

“Astraction N04”

Wishing luck to your life every spring. For Orientals, red represents good luck in terms of idealism. In the journey of life, every danger is always lurking and unexpected happens that people do not anticipate.
